Book excerpt: Baby Boomer's Survival Guide. Unique Generation. Unique Challenges. Unique Solutions. From the lives of baby boomers: "My parents believed in The American Dream and had EVERYTHING stolen from them." "The 70-year-old widow was thrown out of her own home and forced to settle for a tiny fraction of what she was entitled to, with no place to live in the end." "Why must I go through my whole inheritance, all my savings, deplete all my finances - in order to get a bed and some medication - after living a dream life, after doing EVERYTHING right all my life?" ..".Children, spouses, ex-spouses, siblings, and even newly found "relatives" will fight. And fight. And fight..." ..".They ran from one attorney to another attorney, crying, begging for help. But nothing could be done. The apartments didn't belong to them...." "My mom was a lifetime Republican, born into affluence. She was entitled to a pension. But in the time it takes you to read this sentence, her life's finances were wiped out."
